Onorato grew up playing competitive tennis in Caracas, Venezuela. After coming to the U.S., he trained with famed coach Nick Bollettieri at IMG Academy in Florida and faced players like Robert Farah, now one of the world's top-ranked doubles players.

Onorato, who holds dual degrees in finance and economics from the University of Miami, does extensive research before placing any tennis bets. He studies current form, players' tendencies on a particular surface, weather conditions and many other relevant factors. That systematic approach helped Onorato go 96-67-7 -- up 60.42 units -- in 2022!

The expert knows Rybakina has reached the semifinals of a Grand Slam tournament for the second time in her last three attempts. The 23-year-old Russian also accomplished the feat as the 17th seed at Wimbledon last year, defeating Simona Halep before beating No. 3 seed Ons Jabeur to win her first major title. The 33-year-old Azarenka, who won back-to-back Australian Open crowns in 2012 and 2013, is appearing in a Grand Slam semifinal for the first time since the 2020 U.S. Open.
